Interesting fact
The Portugał koronny coin was minted during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa, who was the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1587 to 1632. This coin was minted in Vilnius, which was the capital of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time. The coin was made of gold and weighed 34.41 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. It's worth noting that the Portugał koronny was a standardized coin that was used throughout the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and it was introduced during the reign of Sigismund III Vasa to replace the various local currencies that were in use before. The coin was used for both domestic and international trade, and it remained in circulation until the 18th century.
